Getting your tutu wet: Creativity, Destructiveness and Survival

Abstract

We are constantly made aware of destructiveness and hatred at the individual and organizational levels and are exhorted to recognize,  condemn and to expel such behavior or it’s manifestations in ourselves and in our societies. However it is my belief that aspects of destructiveness are inevitable in the development of creative experience and invention.  Further to this, I believe that it is those who fear and oppose the disruptiveness and possible destructiveness, which may accompany change, who are the true destroyers of creative progress, whether in the development of the personal psyche, or in the progress of organizational and cultural life.
